Mouse Models Available
Mouse Models Available The International Microbiome Centre breeds mice under germ-free conditions which can be requested and delivered for a fee. Take a look below at the current mouse models available. Whether or not your find what you’re looking for, or even if you have questions about a new or existing germ-free or gnotobiotic mouse […]
New Paper: Innate Responses to Gut Microbiota; Critical Assessment of the Necessary Experimental Controls
Congratulations to our Director and Platform 1 Lead Dr. Kathy McCoy on this recent publication! Focusing on the recent findings (since 2017) regarding the commensal bacteria of the mouse intestinal tract, Dr. McCoy and Dr. Ohland discuss the importance and advances of what experimental controls are required to reliably determine how the microbiota influences the […]
Tune in: bacteria may hold a key to some cancer immunotherapies
In these two podcasts, our Director and Platform 1 Lead Dr. Kathy McCoy speaks about her recent study exploring the role of inosine, a bacterial metabolite, in response to cancer immunotherapies. Interviewer Charles Bergquist from Science Friday also raises some important questions such as the recent successes of the microbiome field (Twitter: @scifri). Richard Jacobs […]
Mouse Tissue Biobank
Mouse Tissue Biobank Dig into the our repository of mouse tissues collected from gnotobiotic and germ-free mice. Find samples prepared for experiments such as RNA-extraction. We also have a biobank of samples prepared specifically for histological observations here. This biobank keeps expanding as new tissues are collected from diverse mouse models. Whether or not you […]
Mouse Tissue Histological Biobank
Histological Biobank of Mouse Tissues Dig into the our repository of mouse tissues collected from gnotobiotic and germ-free mice specifically prepared for histological analysis. This biobank keeps expanding as new tissues are collected from diverse mouse models. Whether or not you find what you’re looking for, send us a request and we will get back to […]
The Alberta Microbiota Repository (AMBR)
Alberta Microbiota Repository (AMBR) Dig into the Alberta Microbiota Repository (AMBR), a collection of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and fungi gathered from diverse sources, including clinical samples from every niche of the human body from healthy volunteers. AMBR is located at the University of Calgary. We’re in the process of updating our database with lots […]
